Allsorts Challenge #680


Hi everyone,

The week has flown by, and I'm here with another weekly Allsorts Challenge. This week Brenda has chosen the theme and it is

*** Any Stamped Image ***

This means that your focal image needs to be stamped or digi, rather than eg. just  a teeny stamped sentiment in the corner.

This week we have another two brilliant prizes for you - a £15 store voucher for Stamp Addicts


and this fab stencil

Here's my card for this week.


I decided to ink up this gorgeous Visible Image dragonfly which I have to say is one of my favourites even though I have only used it a couple of times before. I created my background by splattering Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink onto a piece of white card using acetate, then I stencilled the left hand side with Shaded Lilac DO, and second generation stamped my AALl & Create scripted hexagons down the right side and a few random numbers here and there.  I stamped my main dragonfly image in black and heat embossed with clear powder, then coloured the wings with watered down Posca sparkle pen in purple.  I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment then matted the panel onto black card stock and my card base, and finished with a few teeny purple gems and a few spatters of white Posca pen. 

Stamps: Visible Image - Dragonfly Dreams; AALl & Create #383 - Scripted Hexagons; numbers - unknown; sentiment - Crafters Companion;
Media: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink (Wilted Violet, Shaded Lilac); Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Morning Mist); Posca sparkle pen (purple); Posca pen (white);
Tools: Sweet Dixie stencil - Hexagon Mesh.
